the woodsmen history channel

[jkyarcher]

Has anyone else seen the newest history channel show the woodsmen? I thought this looked interesting from the commercials showing people
living out in the wood but its most recent episode seemed so full of you know what..

One of the characters on the show had some metal bow with springs and some raggedy arrows with lead arrowheads and supposedly shot a deer with it.
Did anyone else see this and also feel it is fake. I'm definitely not an expert but this show just seems so fake. I just can't see soft lead arrowheads penetrating
very well.

Also in the hunting scene he sees a deer runs towards it jumps behind a tree and shoots. 

Well just wondering if anyone else saw this and what your thoughts were on it.

I watched parts of it last night. It was somewhat entertaining but that's about all I can say about it.

Watched a few minutes of it - wasn't impressed at all, pretty much sucked. Bob

Not sure if it is the same show but is this where several guys were located around 5 miles apart and the contest is to see who can stay out longest.  If so there is a guy that posts on another primitive site that was on the show.  He is limited on what he can disclose because the show is still on the air but did post that is was rough going at times.

That's a totally different show Jeb.

Thanks, wife and I watched the first show that I wrote on and the contestants could bring 10 items with them to survive with and I think most brought archery equipment to hunt with. We are not much for reality shows but like to watch the history channel when it is about history and we stumbled on to this show.

I think that show is called Alone. 

[JEB]

It is called Alone.  I went to other primitive forum  that has two of the contestants on the Alone show that posts on the forum.  They are on Vancouver Island with ten items not counting their clothing. No camera crew or TV staff.  They have to film themselves everyday as they build shelter, find water and  hunt for food.

One of the guys that posts could share limited info but did post that they are completely alone.  Last man standing gets a half a million dollars.

Yeah the alone show isn't too bad so far but

The woodsmen show hunting scene was just so incredibly fake and disappointing

[DC]

The guys on "Alone" are about 130 miles NW of me. Thick tough country. I think the beach would be their source of food.

[Trapper Rob]

Watched some of it the other night seems fake.

I think your right. The first guy who quit in the first episode was visited by bears in the night. The tent shelter he was shown in was not the one he was shown building earlier.

The Woodsmen Show.....  Did you see their "Bighorn Sheep"??

[sleek]

I want on the show alone....  I dont know how to get on it or if they do another show but I want on it. Any chance on letting in on who it was and what other primitive site they are on who already did the show?
